bananahamuck Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah he is still sad about it ,, BUT he bought those very nice fenders Vandits(?) was selling and they look pretty dang rust free. He just didn't have enough cash to go to Canby last year because his renters had all moved out,, and that is the extra cash he needs after all the bills are paid. .. His rental looks to be a long term deal this time so should make it next year. Quote Link to comment
uberkevin Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Driving home this happened. . made me do two full 360s on the free way. Hit the bed and tail lights on a center rail thingy with wires holding it together.. tail lights are fucked. Drive line and tranny both exploded.. Quote Link to comment

uberkevin Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Lz2.3 was still running. But when the driveline/tranny burst my motor shifted to the left in the rear making my fan go into my rad so thats fucked. Motor should be good. As you can see the trans is not good.. im okay. Just glad there wasnt any other cars around. . Quote Link to comment
Farmer Joe Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 holy fuck man!!! that shit is nuts! ive never seen a trans blow up like that.. least not a datsun trans.. glad you're okay and that the truck aint a loss.. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Dang, that sucks. Good to see nothing worse happened Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I am very happy that you are all right!!!!!!!!!! Was there any vibration? Tail housing of the transmission has been destroyed, correct? My first guess would be the driveline exploded and took everything out, it was a one piece, correct? How far out of the tailshaft was the yoke? Quote Link to comment

uberkevin Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 . Also pushed my truck a bit out of the way of traffic. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 So was it the driveline that let go? Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 So was it the driveline that let go? no, driveline was solid. the tranny decided to fly apart. its in two pieces probably because he was going 65 when the tranny locked, but the rear wheels didn't, so the driveline just twisted and broke in half. LZ23 and powershifting on a Datsun tranny don't mix :p 1 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Wow man, so happy tou are alright. That is crazy. BLUE needs to hurry up with those K-trans measurements so you guys with those powerful LZs can keep ripping up the street. The fact that my trans was 40+ years old is what stopped me from building my LZ. Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Dude!!!!!!! I have never seen a datsun case break apart like that. Always just the internals Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Oh yeah, need to trade tail gates before you destroy that one. Quote Link to comment
